GPS for trucks

When selecting a GPS navigation system for a big-rig truck (or RV for that matter), there are three key things to consider:

Screen size

Ability to route based upon restrictions such as height, width, length, weight and hazardous materials

Inclusion of truck service points of interest

To be honest, GPS navigation systems are new, and no model is perfect. There will be routing errors, so it’s important to cross check routes against truck-specific maps, discuss “last mile” options with the delivery site, etc. But these units can be helpful and assist you in avoiding hazards, finding truck services, etc.

A couple of other notes before we get into the specifics of each brand and model… Some models are simply more intuitive than others. Garmin is famous for this. Follow the Amazon links below to read hands on reviews of many models.
